There is nothing which has a greater potentiality for destruction than insects. There are 5,000,000 -different kinds of insects and nearly all of them are bent in the line of destroying food and other materials of value to man. They cause ten times more damage than fire and according to the department of agriculture the annual tax imposed by insects is greater than pre-war expenditures of the United States. * Fairfax Downs Denmark.

The story of the explosion and sinking of the steamship Villafranca, plying the Parana river, between Paraguay and Argentina, South America, in which nearly 100 persons were killed, was told recently by Prof. Edwin Kemmerer of Princeton University. He returned here with his wife and two children aboard the steamship San/ta Teresa of the Grace line. The explosion of the river 'boat, which was carrying more than 5,000 gallons of gasoline, happened eany in me morning of June 4, and was one of the worst marine disasters ever known in South American waters. The fact that Prof. Kemmerer, who is in his forties, and his wife and'two children, Ruth, 12, and Donald, 16, all are excellent swimmers and were able to cover 300 feet to the shore and swim underneath the water at times to avoid the blazing oil on the surface saved their lives. Scores of women and children and many men aboard were burned or drowned when the river boat sank a few minutes after two explosions had occurred. The blast covered the ship and surrounding waters with blazing gasoline. , I Of the entire list of first cabin pas- j sengers, Mrs. Kemmerer and Ruth were the only women saved. Prof. Kemmerer said that the manner in which the men aboard fought to get away and abandoned their women folk was appalling. There was panic and confusion everywhere. When several men reached the shore in a single lifeboat they refused to put it * 3 out again t.o rescue tne women anu children who 'were Sotting about in the river in the darkness. At 2 o'clock in the morning the passengers were thrown from their berths by a terrific explosion, followed by a roar. The Kemmerers, scantily clad, ran to the deck and saw the flaming oil rushing along the deA; and spouting from the port holes below. The water's surface about the ship.for a score of yards was blazing w4th floating patches of the ignited gasoline. "We stood at the rail for a moment," Prof. Kemmerer said, "and watched the panic all about us, when we noticed that the ship was taking a heavy list to starboard. My wife handed me a suit case which contained some valuables and papers, but we had no time for caring for anything else save getting away safely. "I told the children to get ready to dive from the rail. We all went over the side together. As we went under the water on the dive the second explosion came. Only the fact that we were under water saved us, as blazing oil was hurled- in all directions. When we came to the surface all sw&m toward the shore, but we were carried out of our course by the heavy tide. Here and there fear-crazed men and women were struggling to save themselves and many were trying to beat ?-u^ flomoe nr>?ir>'h olnner to them. UUt liiC uarnv^ ti 0 ? scorching some to death. "When we came to a widening ring of flames we all dove and swam under the surface for some distance." Prof. Kemmerer, who is head of the Department of Economics at Princeton, went on a leave to study hanking conditions last February.? New York Herald. ' SOUTHERN NOW NORMAL Freight and Passenger' Trains on Old Schedules. Washington, D. C., Oct. 12.?The Southern Railway system is now operating all its freight and passenger trains on normal schedules and accepting all business offered, having cleared its lines of all congestion in twelve days after the settlement of the strike of its shopcraft employees, according to a statement from H. W. Miller, vice-president in charge of operation. "The Southern Railway system had an accumulation of 14,126 loaded cars, not moving currently, on ~ - ? ^ ~ * September 18 th when tne strme ui the shopmen was settled", said Mr. Miller. "Some of these were 'frozen' in yards and others were set off on side tracks out on the line. We had rigid embargoes outstanding and a number of passenger trains had also been discontinued as an emergency measure. On October 1st, the entire accumulation ha,d been moved and all yards and terminals were functioning normally. All embargoes for which the Southern was responsible had been lifted and all passenger trains had been restored. "The Southern is today in a normal conidtion and ready to handle all traffic offered by shippers or connections for all destinations, subject only to outstanding embargoes of ' connecting lines."
